Unraveling threads caught together rewind the road
This mystery road unwinding up the last dark hill
we may ever see searching each other
Unraveling thread fading in old pale leaves
torn from favorite books under gaunt trees
Blown beside an opening that never heaves
Up a path best seen in winter’s dark screes
Unwinding way tangled under twisted threads
sticking out of places near our centers
Pulling and releasing in alteration of our dreads
tangling our lost way with trailing glinters
Rocky pointers to the next bend crossed by breads
crumbed to feed us to crossed unwound centers
We are unwinding back towards a place
found by crossing fibers from each
To lay a dimly sparkling climb to trace
a just found map to that souly peaceful beach
The unraveling thread leaves enough fiber
from me to you in sand pushing new hills.
Unwinding thread brightening stumped toes
rolling on towards pointed lights
Unwinding thread tightening the center woes
filling our centers forgetting slights
Knotting threads wound back through wounds
filling with time’s sands to rest on a higher hill
Unwinding threads on winding paths winding heartstrings into a climbing song.

like the unwinding, well expressed thoughts 🙂
Dec 01, 2011 @ 05:21:43
Thank you most humbly for your gracious feedback. I intend to work a lot more with this concept of unwinding, being unwound, rewinding…..
Dec 01, 2011 @ 05:42:48
Arrgh Granbee.. I just unwound.. as I read your words.. We so often wind ourselves up and get in such a tangled mess.. and then are liken to a coiled spring.. A bit like my knitting when I unravel it when I go wrong now and again.. I see all the kinks in it.. But I knit it up and its as good as new… LOL..
We all of us slip a few stiches now and again in life Granbee…. But weaving, well now.. I used to have a small loom… a baby size one lol.. in and out.. backwards and forwards…. such is the threads of life..
I loved your “” Knotting threads wound back through wounds “”” We so Do that to ourselves, as we play over and over those memory threads…
Love and light my friend keep Shining your Light.. xxx

Sue, you just feed my writer’s soul with your comments! Thank you is not sufficient! Watch for me to continue with this unwinding, rewinding, ravelling, remnants stronger than the whole cord, weaving a “climbing” rope, weaving a binding rope, etc. Have you ever rapelled?
Dec 01, 2011 @ 05:52:20
Rapelled as in “Drive Back”… yes I do that all the time… I drive those thoughts away I do not wish to invade.. and I Drive others Crazy.. :-)…. hehe…
Dec 01, 2011 @ 05:56:13
Wow, I had not thought of it that way! Thanks! And love your sense of fun, girl! You KNOW what I meant by “rapelling”. (climbing down sheer rock cliffs hanging on a rope clipped to a groove at the top with a pretty delicate looking wire claw!)
Dec 01, 2011 @ 06:17:37
No I hadnt thought of that…here we call that sort of climbing down rocks as ‘abseiling’ ….. And no you wouldnt get me climbing UP in the first place hehe….
😉 Though I do love a good walk out in the country.. 🙂
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:48:15
Sue, you climb UP with every word you write. Don’t you know?
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:51:38
Lol and Did you Know Granbee that you could Charm the Birds right out of their Trees 🙂 xxxx Bless you xx
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:54:44
Hey, Sue, how do you think this “Byrd” got down on that winding, climbing path?
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:58:41
OOOoooooh I may just squeeze this in… I Knew you had wings!.. Long may you Keep FLYING my dear friend.. 🙂 xx
Dec 02, 2011 @ 03:30:12
Come fly with us in your words winging straight out of your beautiful soul!
Dec 01, 2011 @ 09:02:51
Granbee, I love the metaphor of unwinding threads… again, so many levels to this, so much IN the lines, and so much BETWEEN them (between the threads?)…. so much, so very much! … and I like that you ended it on a climbing note. 🙂
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:49:23
Thank you most humbly, Betty. Yes, I will continue in my next post to “climb up” regardless of rusty barked wire unwinding in my path!
Dec 01, 2011 @ 13:28:15
This is great–I felt myself meandering on your road.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:50:09
Caddo, the honor of having you “meander” on my road takes my breath away. Thank you so much for your continue helpful feedback!
Dec 01, 2011 @ 14:16:02
Rose! Your lines weave beautifully through this knitting the poem together in a colorful tapestry of letters. I followed your bread crumbs through the forest and found light at the end of the path.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:51:30
Bless you, MISTER Peter! I too found light–and courage enough to keep climbing up toward to light and around curves in the forest, in spite of uncurling rusty barbed wire strands in my path in today’s about-to-be post!
Dec 01, 2011 @ 23:16:17
This is my favorite of what you’ve done. I am going to read it again.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 02:52:37
Carroll, so glad you enjoyed this post. I am continuing today to climb up and venture around more curves and twists in the path in spite of unfurling rusty barbed wire, etc. in today’s about-to-be post.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 03:54:24
Wow, I felt like I was unwinding and all the hopes that keep me stressed. I think some of my photos match your poetry.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 03:56:26
Jen, I am truly honored that you feel your fab photos might match my poetry in this post. Stay-tune: I will continue with this “unwinding/rewinding/entangling connections” theme for my next few posts, maybe more.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 04:29:49
That is very good. You captured the sense of relaxation and self better than I have seen in a long time. A very good job!
Dec 02, 2011 @ 04:35:02
K.M., you have blown me away, man! Would appreciate continue feedback from you as I continue to post on unwindings, rewindings, entanglements in fragments unwound, connections through windings, etc.
Dec 03, 2011 @ 03:30:59
This is brilliant … You have a real talent 🙂
Dec 03, 2011 @ 04:27:13
Megan, you are so wonderful! I am SO grateful to you today for commenting on my WRITING that coincidentally is posted on my blog today, NOT the attributes of my blog in general. I am focusing JUST ON DEVELOPING my writing now. The blog/site development is still VERY much a work in progress! Once again, thank you, blessed young soul!
Dec 03, 2011 @ 07:37:25
I was also unwinding (much needed now), while reading your beautiful words wound together to make word art! Again, I simply love the metaphor and message you are conveying. You are my mentor, Rose! 🙂
Dec 04, 2011 @ 01:32:18
Lauren, how can I be YOUR mentor when YOU are one of MINE? Thanks so much for such a high compliment! Anway, I seem to have “touched” a lot of folks with this post: don’t suppose it has ANYTHING to do with the tensions in today’s world, do you? (ha!) Thank you, also, for the phrase “word art”: that is certainly one of my aspirations with this blog!
Dec 04, 2011 @ 04:21:37
Oh, you are so kind! That’s difficult for me to accept, me being your mentor, but It’s a very nice complement! Yes, there are just a “few” tensions in the world…oh, to have world peace!
Remember in the beauty pageants, the contestants would always answer, “World Peace.” I thought that was so cliche when I was younger, as they said it because it was the right thing to say and not really meaning it or understanding the meaning behind those words. Now it makes sense and what the world truly needs! 🙂
Dec 04, 2011 @ 04:32:44
Lauren, I suspect the reason we both though the beauty contestants were merely speaking cliches when they said “world peace” was that we sensed they still did not understand about first having peace down in the very center of themselves FIRST!
Dec 04, 2011 @ 04:42:55
Very good point! 🙂
Dec 04, 2011 @ 04:46:24
Let us be connected with many “unwound” strings in this journey towards peace within and without this very special Advent season!
Dec 04, 2011 @ 04:55:48
I, wholeheartedly, agree! Blessings to you!
Dec 04, 2011 @ 05:00:08
Double smiley face!
